We all know that Hamas is notorious for using its own people as human shields (including women and children). In Operation Cast Lead, the world was quick to blame Israel for the "collateral damage", charging Israelis with targeting schools and U.N. aid vehicles.
Being the amazing country that is it, Israel launched a investigation on itself (how many nations in the Middle East do that?) to hold any parties accountable for wrongdoing.
"The investigations showed that throughout the fighting in Gaza, the IDF operated in accordance with international law. The IDF maintained a high professional and moral level while facing an enemy that aimed to terrorize Israeli civilians whilst taking cover amidst uninvolved civilians in the Gaza strip and using them as human shields. Notwithstanding this, the investigations revealed a very small number of incidents in which intelligence or operational errors took place during the fighting. These unfortunate incidents were unavoidable and occur in all combat situations, in particular of the type which Hamas forced on the IDF, by choosing to fight from within the civilian population."
If Hamas investigated itself, what might it find?
- The use of human shields and militants shooting mortor bombs from a U.N. school
- Hamas Prime Minister operating a control center against the IDF from within a hospital and using ambulances to transport weapons and operartives
- Hamas using smuggling tunnels to get weapons into Gaza


a corrupt nation launching an investigation on itself....I wonder what the verdict would be. Is israel guilty? Or innocent?....Number 2 please Carol
